Visual Studio: Reset Window Layout

Mitch BartlettJanuary 24, 2020 Comments (2)
Visual Studio Logo

Throughout the development process we move windows in Visual Studio, delete them, and add them. Sometimes it can get messy to the point where it’s best to just reset the window layout. You can do so with these steps.

Reset VS Windows to Default

Select the “Window” menu and choose “Reset Windows Layout“.


Reset VS Windows to Presets

If you have saved a window layout and wish to revert back to that layout, select the “Window” menu, choose “Apply Window Layout“, then select the layout you wish to revert to.
